Shortly after graduating, she launched her freelance career and has since collaborated on projects in a range of fields such as publishing, advertising, pattern design, and, most notably, fashion and lifestyle, which have become her expertise.

She’s always shared her personal work on social media, which has led to commissions from a wide variety of clients including Folio Society, Bankers Hall, RedBloom Salons, and magazines such as Rolling Stone, LA Weekly, The National Post, and The Sunday Times. She’s also received numerous illustration awards from American Illustration, Communication Arts, and Applied Arts, as well as AR100 and the Society of Illustrators.
